The Mirror

When I was young, I'd watch this film and feel seen by so many eyes The young look back at me. And they have many eyes Behind the movie screen The ingénue is seen And while you look at her She sees you in her mirror! Behind the looking glass You glimpse her- there's a flash! And while you look at her She sees you in her mirror! Behind the glass she tears away Behind her now, you stare, you stay but does she know you love her gaze: her look? She took She took your breath like this Unmade... her chrysalis And once she undoes "she" You push and peel to see Her like she was Behind the movie screen The ingénue is seen And while you look at her She sees you in her mirror! Behind the glass she tears away Behind her now, you stare, you stay But does she know you love her gaze: her look? She knows She knows She knows you well She isn't dumb She knows you well
